Hey everyone, does anyone know how to get some good burnouts on '14 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 ? It doesn't matter whether the traction control button is on or off, the damn thing just won't do a half decent burnout!! Hey, this truck is supposed to produce 395 hp / 410 torque... I wanna be able to smoke the tires if wanna. Right?

Does anyone have a way to truly disable TC?

thanks for your input

I would recommend a tuner that offers the option of disabling traction control. That is the unfortunate thing with electronics. It takes special electronics to disable original equipped programs on today's modern vehicles.

tie it to a tree.....guess i'm too old to want to do burn outs.....or maybe i've bought too many tires to want to spend more money on rubber. has plenty of power for me without the burn outs....guess i'm at that age.

That age can come earlier than you think. I didn't buy a truck to do burnouts

I'm so thankful we taught our son to take care of what U have worked Hard for!

Buy a cheap go-cart and pour some bleach on the tarmac and Have fun all day! Gas is cheaper as well as the tires!

hey paulingo.....we didn't mean to run you off. welcome to the forum. have fun doing those burnouts......

Could the gearing of the rear end have something to do with it?
I don't do burnouts as I have reached that point in my life, just ask my wife.

I thought of buying a tuner but with the amount of power this thing has you'd figure I wouldn't have to.
Thanks everyone for your input !

Paulingo, this subject has been beat down too many times that I can remember on this forum. Too many here have said, "With this much horsepower/torque, how come I can't break my tires loose?" Simple fact is: Reliability. The power IS there. It's just electronically controlled. Hence, "Traction Control".

Paul: On a serious Note! I have never pushed the pedal all the way to the floor on my NEW 2014. I have never done a burnout in my NEW 2014! I think the last time I did that I was 22 in my 82 Cross-Fire Injected Z28 and Blew Out a Tire! I was showing off!

Ya a Real F#@$%*& Retard I was!! Girl Friend was not impressed!

Anyway! I can honestly say! Coming home from work I stop at the same stop sign every time. At this stop sign it has brand new smooth Black Tarmac. This summer it has been really hot and that Tarmac is really sticky! I don't even try and I can break both rear tires loose. I can only imagine what I could do if I really tried. Now on really rough concrete I'm sure it would be more difficult. But I never will find that out!

I will say-->Once a week I travel a Very Long Smooth Road {24 Miles} that receives very little traffic that I open the NEW 5.7L up holding 85-90mph for 12 to 18 miles. I have no idea if our trucks are governed at a certain mph.

Try different surfaces!

It shouldn't. I have (unintentionally) spun both tires on dry pavement and I have 3.21 diffs.

Doing a burn out with a truck isn't anything to show off or brag about. Even a truck with a four banger can do that, as long as they don't have traction control. If you want to have something worthy of showing off get a car that will do it...

You can't fix stupid.

i can do a burn out in my 13 sport 6spd with 3.55. i have 35s too.... it helps if you turn off traction control. turn on tow haul mode and manually shift your truck into 1st gear. then when they start to turn. hop the brakes a little and mash the gas. they turn awesome... i guess all the steps above just help limit the factory torque management a hair more... ENJOY

Works for doing a donut also sometime i just have to show those cocky ford guys what a real truck can do since they can't do one!!!
